30 JANUARY 1969: THE BEATLES' ROOFTOP CONCERT

"If I had to single out one event that stood out above all the others during the time I was in the music industry and working with the Beatles, it would by far be their last “concert.” That wild and impromptu event presented the end of a time warp, an intimate gathering, a worldwide event, and a moment like no other. It took place during the punishing cold midday of Thursday, January 30, 1969, and warmed our hearts.

(...) There were just a few of us up there and it felt good—it was personal; it was special—and we got to witness a gathering of Rock ‘n’ Roll angels expecting to fly. Words and music soon soared out of the very heart of the staid Mayfair financial district and into the ears and souls of the unsuspecting people on the streets. London was the center of cutting-edge music, and in the neighboring buildings of this vibrant city, secretaries, bankers, wool merchants, and deliverymen alike were jolted alive by the rockin’ that was rollin’ off the Apple rooftop.

Everyone within a mile of that place will proudly state for the rest of their lives that they were there the day the music came wafting down the streets, echoing and slamming up against the red brick buildings. Melodies and rim shots blew in through the cracks and into board meetings, while Lords and loonies alike stood frozen along Savile Row, necks craned upward to the rooftops. They immediately knew who it was—they were just trying to work out what was happening. These were not the usual sounds coming down the roads of London’s sedate financial district at lunchtime.

Soon the streets and sidewalks were clogged by voluntary standstill, open windows started dotting the sides of the once sealed buildings, and bodies began lining the ledges of the adjoining structures. It was all so unexplainable, yet so incredibly wonderful."

msr crack fic idea where mulder goes out of his way one year (c. 1998 ish) to send mrs scully a holiday card and is VERY confused when she calls him asking if everything is okay between him and dana. when he asks scully about it she goes bright red and picks up the card her mom sent her this year from the mantle, and the last two years from the hall cupboard - all addressed to “Dana & Fox”. she reveals that in an effort to stop her mother from setting her up with every slightly eligible catholic bachelor in her parish, she simply. stopped protesting when people insinuated that THEY were together. she never said they WERE, just stopped saying that they weren’t. so, you see, giving her mother a card addressed only from him may have. slightly broken the facade. it is at this point he realises that the many times he has seen maggie scully in person in the last two years have, well, not broken the facade.
